Very nice, definitely get the sweetness from the sherry cask, a hint of smoke and spice. Very smooth to drink with a sweet fruity finish
I enjoyed this cigar. Good size, burn, flavour etc.
I was unfortunate to have one which was tightly wrapped, which made the draw hard work, but
After smoking a few of these that were really very good I got a bit carried away and posted a very positive review. In the last week or so Ive smoked about six of these and friends of mine another 10 or so.
About three out of an original 25 have been solidly plugged. None so far have burnt evenly. One burnt down the centre leaving the wrapper almost intact for about an inch! One fell apart halfway. The first two or three had a nice easyish draw the rest have been harder work. The ash is usually speckled black/gray 40/60 but one cigar had noticeably yellow looking ash, the pal who got it thought it was a great smoke! On the whole I still think these are ok but obviously 2 or 3 bad cigars skews the vfm profile a bit. Therefore Ill rate them 2 cigars making an average of 3 cigars over two reviews.

Loved every minute of this cigar. Great construction, great draw, burnt very evenly had a more peppery flavour about two thirds down and went very well with my chianti. I brought two of these and could have quite easily smoked one after another. Well worth the money.
Disappointing - I have been sampling inexpensive every day smokes and ordered four of these to try. One was ok, one was very frayed around the cut and the other two had badly cracked wrappers so they wouldnt draw and were unsmokable.... I also tried the Dutch Half Coronas and Long Coronas which were both very good and excellent value for money so Ill stick to those in the future!
